I am working on a bio for a development conference I am presenting at. My writing style causes my [Flesch Reading Ease](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch%E2%80%93Kincaid_readability_test#Flesch_Reading_Ease) score to trend high. While I like what I have below I'd like to simplify it a bit without losing impact.

What are some options for simplification?
